What is Project-based learning?
Project-based learning is when the students do the projects presented by the teacher, learning real world scenarios and situations. This can be helpful to a student as it will teach students problem solving and learning how to deal with different situations as they prosper in the world.

Why is Project-based learning important for students?
Project-based learning, also known as PBL, can improve a students problem solving skills. When a student is completing a project they tend to retain the information a lot more than if they are being lectured on a topic. It is a lot easier to understand something by doing it yourself. Most students find that when something is completed by they, themselves, they understand more of a meaning behind. Things mean more when you have completed them.

How does PBL benefit teachers?
As teachers, it is important that we know as much as we can about each of our students learning techniques and abilities. Project-based learning can be a great way to get to know how your students operate when given a lesson or project. It also helps the teacher leave a mark on a student when an impact is made through learning.
